Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, Parsons Corporation (the “Company”), we are hereby filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Amendment No. 1”). The Company previously filed a registration statement on Form S-1 on April 12, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). The Amendment No. 1 has been revised to reflect the Company’s responses to the comment letter to the Registration Statement received on April 23, 2019 from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”). For your convenience, we are providing by overnight delivery a courtesy package that includes four clean copies of the Amendment No. 1 and four copies that have been marked to show changes from the Registration Statement, as well as a copy of this letter.

For ease of review, we have set forth below the comment from your letter in bold type followed by the Company’s response thereto. Except for page numbers appearing in the headings and the Staff’s comment below (which are references to the Registration Statement), all page references herein correspond to the relevant pages of the Amendment No. 1.
